I like the atmosphere, diablo sounds help to show what you are going for.
It needs a more engaging starting weapon. Since mana runs out fast, and spells you get are random, shooting should be a solid pillar of the game together with dodge roll.

Sorry, it was pretty rude not to actually explain what it was. Level 4, picked up the Sapphire Key, the combat section started and when all enemies were slaughtered the portals never disappeared.
Hard to say what it was, but I think it was the third wave, killing an enemy either the frame it appeared or maybe the frame before by pre-empting a spawn with a fireball AOE/ice crit. Not an easy one to reproduce, I'm afraid. Windows whatever-the-latest-one is on a pretty decent rig, for what it matters, I don't think it was performance related. If I had to guess, the enemies have to fully spawn and run a frame before their death contributes to the death-count necessary for the wave to count as completed?
I played your fixed version. I like the game; it's a bit difficult, which I like. I have some suggestions/issues to list:
- different primary weapons that you can unlock or find for variety; not sure if this is already in the game, I'm bad and died several times on level 2
- it's hard to pick up items that are on a teleporter unless you're not standing on the teleporter
some type of indicator that you're getting money from killing monsters(I just noticed the coin animation, maybe a sound too?)- auto-pick up mana/health potions, I don't see a reason that you need to click a button to pick them up
- spells should say how much mana they consume unless that's an intentional design decision
- the map should have an icon of where you're at on it
- have those blood particles when shooting monster go out in the direction that you shoot, would look better
Thanks a lot for the comment, really appreciate this. I'll go from top to bottom.

Different primary weapons is exactly what will be in the next update, not only ranged, but melee as well
- it's hard to pick up items that are on a teleporter unless you're not standing on the teleporter
Yeah. I was meant to fix that and then it got lost in backlog.

Gold is a temporary solution. I mean, I might ultimately use gold as a currency, but for now it's just a placeholder, so I'm not spending time on this :)
- auto-pick up mana/health potions, I don't see a reason that you need to click a button to pick them up
Good idea.
- spells should say how much mana they consume unless that's an intentional design decision
Nah, it's not by design, it's by omission :)
- the map should have an icon of where you're at on it
Agreed.
- have those blood particles when shooting monster go out in the direction that you shoot, would look better
Yeah...so that what I get for hotfixing carelessly. I was working on the blood particles for the next update, and then when I saw a comment saying I have a nasty bug so I quickly patched it...leaving of course, the half-baked new feature in. I've uploaded the new version now :)

Hey, thanks a lot for this comment. I've quickly identified the bug and uploaded the fixed version, so now If you like you can have a go at it again :)
As for the camera, you can turn off the screen shake completely in the main menu. Cheers!
